0:00On April 17th, Australian model and actress Rose just dropped a bombshow on Threads, accusing Katie Perry of sexual assault at a Melbourne nightclub. Back in 2010, when Rose was in her early 20s, she claims Perry pulled her underwear aside and rubbed herself on Rose's face while she was resting on a friend's lap, leading Rose to vomit right there. This all ties back to a party where Rose had been sober for 30 days, but decided to drink that night, ending up puking on Perry's foot. At the time, Rose shared the story publicly as a turning point that inspired her to stay off alcohol for 90 days, calling it one of her best. Decisions without mentioning any assault. Rose says it's taken nearly two decades to speak out, highlighting the deep trauma from the incident. Perry's team has strongly denied the claims while Rose insists it's true with witnesses and photos, even daring Perry to sue. Fast forward to this week, Victoria Police confirmed they're investigating the historical assault report Rose filed.

1:01An ex-manager from the club remembers Perry and Rose drinking heavily that night, but says nothing about an assault, just arranging a car to get them, out safely to dodge photos. The stories unfolding with serious allegations on both sides and authorities are digging and stay tuned as more details emerge on this wild chapter.
